Question:

Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.

Conceited

Options:

Modest

Superior

Proud

Vain

Correct Answer:

Modest

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word conceited is modest.

  • Conceited means "having or showing an excessive or unjustified sense of one's own importance or abilities."
  • Modest means "having or showing a moderate or low estimate of one's own importance."

So, the opposite of being conceited would be to be modest, or to have a moderate or low estimate of one's own importance.

The other words do not have opposite meanings to conceited.

  • Superior means "of higher quality or standard."
  • Proud means "having or showing a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions."
  • Vain means "having or showing an excessive interest in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements."
